Hello and howdie...

Just another Rover, that is not enough crispy to destroy or rusty to make a rat mobile...

So here is my rage, sorry Range Rover build. Idea is to make her pretty and even better this time to make some roadtrips to Russia... If you want, I would place some pictures about those "roads"...

But here she is:

1990 Range Rover Vogue V8 manual. Only 200.000km and I'm her 2nd owner!!

Picture was taken this summer, when I lift her body away for the frame rebuild.

30min later

Another 10mins... Great...

It was a little bit "harder" rain, 12hrs...

But wery next day, body went away...

And frame stayed to wait that it will be washed (loooooong wait)

Now its cleaned...

And parked inside my garage..
For dismantling

Engine and gearbox away

To the same corner were body went

Front axle off (in the bin!)

Rear also away and straight to the bin...

Reason why body take a walk from the chassis...
Actualy, this was the worst place.

Now the frame is sandblasted and minor welding is done, but the hardest part is to come, cause suspension (both) is "under construction" for Sals axle and fourlink arms (rear) with Johny Joints ends...
